Comp. for sale 50 cents

Well this week has been................. like a horrible marriage I guess I have tasted just a tad bit of what it will feel like when my wife will be pregnant and cranky whinning about everything haha however you know me I've done this before so now I am trying to just stay happy and laughing always dont worry about me I am doing fine just grand! That was pretty sweet to get that email from Cam the chileanos are some pretty cool cats I think thats how you spell it. This week we worked like crazy because I can finally work my fanny off without my senior comp saying he wants to rest.I feel bad for my comp but its good for him hes pretty disobedient but with time it will change. We have fought most everyday and to make matters worse I've got lice haha I think thats how you spell it. I dont ever remember having lice but oh well hopefully I dont loose my hair. Anywho not much else going on we were supposed to have a baptism but the brazilian we were teaching decided to throw a chair at her pregnant sister so ya she never got baptized. Pray for my comp that he will have the desires to work because right now his attitude is I dont care if we baptize a single person. I know we will I dont have any doubts at all! PS dont send me anything for my bday what I would like is for you all to send me something you like about me like old times hahaha just kidding but seriously. hope all is well that sucks the cards lost but they werent allowed to when while I was here and couldnt watch it haha hope all is well stay happy and laugh because thats all I can do. chat next week live with Elder Burr

Senior Comp. train just pulled into the station

Hello family yes its true i am senior comp finally however my comp is elder rosales. not much more to say besides that lets just say he acts like Gestan from Beauty and the beast haha hes is EXTREMELY PRIDEFUL its incredible but i am learning to have alot more patience, loving, and humble. we pretty much straight up told me hes not obedient and there is nothing i can do about. i know president wade put me with him for a reason just like elder rivera. we are working extremely hard and i know that we will have succes i just have to put more faith in the lord. i know everything will be ok im just trying to be his friend and be supportive. this past week was insane we were talking to one of our investigators and she was just having a hard time and her life is pretty much a disaster, she has a 16 year sister who is pregnant who went to bolivia when she was 14 to bring drugs back to brazil where they used to live. her dad shot and killed her moms parentsand her mom went to jail for 3 years two different times and now her mom and her sister are addicted to smoking and drinking and she is slowly killing her baby. also they only speak port. its insane but its a good experience. anyway they got in a huge fight butr we finally got them all cooled down and we ended leaving the house with her mom and her hugging. her baptism is for this coming sunday her name is luana. keep her in your prayers. thank you for all the support and love and prays and everything i love you all sorry im in a horrible computer place i will send pics next week i love you all peace!para siempre dios este con vos. heres two scriptures i love mosiah 5;13 and enos 1;5 i wont give up shut up or let up until i have stayed up stored up and paid up for the cause of christ. i must go until he comes give until i drop preach all i know and work until he stops me and when he returns for his own he will have no problem recognizing me.MY BANNER IS CLEAR!

Hello family well today was just another eh week, I'm getting pretty frustrated in my comp and I'm just about ready to accidently strangle him. He's a great kid hes just ridiculously LAZY its so hard working when every two seconds he is saying hungryI'm thirsty I'm tired this area sucks and much much more. We should be getting changes tonight or tomorrow and I am ready to go up as senior comp but its not my choice its the Lords so if my time isnt this change and I'm still with my comp well then I'll go where you want me to go dear Lord. I am just trying to stay postive and be a cheerleader for my comp to animate him. Pray for ya boy I love you guys and your all in my prayers I hope it was a good new years for you all I barely stayed up until 1030 ha and then at 1200 all of Paraguay woke me up with their traditional fireworks haha anywho peace para siempre dios este con vos.
